toong coworking space
Toong, which directly translated from Vietnamese means beehive, is aptly named. Launched back in 2015 by its founder and CEO, Duong Duo, Toong operates differently from other coworking spaces.

When the concept of coworking first gained traction, some flex space providers responded by pushing out flashy, tech-infused start-up hubs. Duo’s focus reached beyond inspiring spaces and game-changing technology toward philosophies that incorporated individual wellbeing and the preservation of culture.

His business plans have always been quite ambitious. His goal is to change how people in Vietnam work by providing human-centric work environments where professionals can flourish unimpeded.

The focus of these workplaces is individuals and their journey of self-transformation in their respective careers. With talents nurtured and the potential of worker bee’s uncovered, only then can businesses gain momentum to change society for the better.

History Of Toong Coworking Spaces

Toong's first coworking space opened in an area of downtown Hanoi called Thrang Thi. The hub is one of the largest of its kind in Vietnam, boasting 750-square metres of space compared to the tiny cafes freelancers and startups were previously resigned to use.

The creators faced many obstacles while developing the space, one of the largest being that the flex space was positioned on the upper levels of a building with no elevator.

However, Toong's flagship space gained the attention of Vietnam's working population, and the risks soon paid off. It became evident that people wanted a change from traditional workspaces for attractive, cost-effective hubs that prioritised wellness.

In the short five years of operating, having expanded into Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Vientiane, Phnom Penh, Toong has broadened its horizons across Indochina.

Sitting in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, District 3 is a building with plenty to offer. With two floors, high speed fibre internet and air-conditioned spaces, 126 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai provides an ideal environment for businesses big and small. Whether it's administration support, meeting room facilities or reception services that are needed, this building has it all plus added luxuries such as a business lounge with showers, storage facilities, bike racks and even a prayer room. For ultimate security there is 24/7 surveillance technique and CCTV cameras installed throughout the premises. Moreover, there is disabled access and parking as well as a lift/elevator for added convenience. All in all, this building is the perfect place to work effectively while ensuring safety and comfort.

How Does Toong Coworking Spaces Compare With Other Coworking Spaces?

Toong might be the first work environment developer in Indochina that boasts a major large-scale coworking network, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting complacent or too comfortable with their current standing.

Instead, Toong is taking a different approach with their competitors, not seeing them as rivals with whom they need to compete but aim to encourage others to open their own spaces for the development of the coworking ecosystem.

Because, what matters is to change the work mindset into one that is more flexible, progressive, nurturing, positive and upbeat.
